[QUOTE="UG, post: 1287316, member: 714"] We've had a few Braunviehs and overall we really like them. They are a docile breed and the calves have very good growth. They cross very well with Angus, and the halfbloods make great feeder calves. The halfblood females also make really good cows. Like someone posted previously, when you cross Braunviehs with red cattle you can get some crazy markings, including some Tiger Stripes. In my opinion following are some of the breed's limitations: 1. calf buyers often mistake Braunvieh calves as dairy Brown Swiss and discount them at the sale barn 2. a relatively high percentage of Braunvieh bulls are horned, and of those that are polled, many are hetero polled 3. whereas breeders of many of the other Continental breeds have done a good job of reducing birth weights, the data I see on many Braunvieh sired cattle is that tend to be heavier at birth [/QUOTE]
